Gifts for Men ~ She Picks! 2014

Today’s picks: Gifts for Men

So first up, an idea from my one true love… He’s a finish carpenter (see his AMAZING work here: Finish Carpentry Ideas #1 and Finish Carpentry Ideas #2 and Finish Carpentry Ideas #3). Anyway, my real point is that he is a tool connoisseur. If there’s a tool out there, he’s probably used it and has 10 of them. Ha! But, seriously. He’s offered suggestions in previous gift posts, but this year his new favorite tool is the Dewalt Oscillating Multi-Tool. Reviewers call it one of their most used tools and the best tool they’ve ever owned! That’s pretty impressive. What’s unique about it is that because it’s vibrating, rather than spinning or reciprocating, it doesn’t hit the wall, allowing you to make cuts in tight areas, trim that is already on the wall, etc.

Okay, another idea from Dan, my man. Oh, and I’ve been chatting with one of my mega-sweet contributors, Veronica. She has a million sisters, and asked them what their husbands love. They also said this very same thing… a large duffle bag. Like, really large! My husband said about the size of ME being able to fit inside it (not that he wants to tote me around… just for reference. :)) He prefers duffle bags to suitcases for loading the car and he says they’re easier to stuff odd shaped items in. Sometimes he wants to tote all his paintball gear somewhere, his guns, or just his clothes. Duffle bags… LARGE ONES… are where it’s at. I guess. This 42″ Olympia Duffel Bag gets great reviews and comes in several colors.

How about a membership to the Root Beer of the Month Club?? My brother would love this! When he stops at grocery stores, he loves to look at their selection of bottled root beer, to see if there is any he hasn’t tried yet. You can sign up to have him receive a 6 pack or a 12 pack each month, each with a variety of root beers. You can also purchase individual brands on the site.

For the cold, wet weather… working and recreating in the wet stuff… these BOG Boots get awesome reviews and come highly recommended! Waterproof and warm to negative 40. There are several styles to choose from.

Okay so, I don’t let my husband shave… I HEART beards. But, I will say that this Braun Series 7 razor gets over 2,000 awesome reviews, which is madness, I thought only the straight razor got such a perfect score. So, if Dan wasn’t a beard man, this would definitely be at the top of my list. I’ll let Braun tell you why it’s so great…

‘The Series 7 is the most advanced and premium shaver line from Braun. The Pulsonic technology with 10,000 micro vibrations helps capture more hair with every stroke – for Braun‘s most thorough and comfortable shave. The Series 7 shaver combines the most advanced Technology and Design. Series 7‘s leading edge shaving technology three different Personalization Modes and a powerful Linear Motor. In addition, enjoy the convenience of Braun’s Clean & Renew system, which will clean, charge, lubricate and dry your shaver at the touch of a button.’

As always, this was a great list!! Yours are the only helpful ones I’ve found. All the other links I click on, hoping to finally have a good idea for my husband have lists of things we’ve read a million times like BBQ, fishing and football. Those are great, but what do I get the guy after buying all that typical stuff?!?! So thank you! I have never w added several great items to my list. Plus, the convo with my sisters was also very helpful. They had some great ideas. And they agreed, you could join our sisterhood anytime! There’s always room for one more!

Suh-weet!! I totally want in the sisterhood! And, thanks for the sweet compliment! I really try to make a point of not stating the obvious on my blog, so I’m glad it’s coming through and it’s helpful. Thanks!!
